Chapter 3
1008 Words
"Get off me!" I tried so hard to fight these people that were holding me but they were too strong.
"Careful, Master will kill us if we fail."
I don't know how I ended up with these goons but one thing is for sure, I'm not safe with them.
I'm just taking a walk near our apartment to reflect because of my actions. It was just a short break from reality but these men showed up.
"Who are you? Where are you taking me?" I asked because they were holding me tightly?
"Make her sleep."
I shook my head and was about to shout when they put a handkerchief in my face.
"Boss, we already get her."
And that's the last thing I heard before I lost my consciousness.
I smell lavender.
It's calming, the smell of my favorite flower is making me feel relaxed. But the memory of last night flashed through my mind.
I got up quickly but I stopped because my hands were tied.
I cursed and roamed my eyes.
I'm in a room filled with lavender flowers. The room is also painted with white colors and the smell of trees lingers in my nose.
Where am I?
"You're finally awake,"
My forehead creased.
"W-who are you?" I asked when I saw a gorgeous man.
He's wearing a suit, his piercing eyes are looking at me and it's giving me creeps. His hair is tied in a man bun, his jawline is also sculpted perfectly. But I can feel in his presence that this man is dangerous.
He looks like a God from Atlantis.
He smirks.
"Good morning, Bella." He said.
Huh? Bella?
"Excuse me? My name is not Bella, I think you kidn*pped the wrong person." I coldly said.
He chuckles.
"You're Aurielle Ashford, I think I got the right person."
Did he know me?
Who is this guy? Why does he know my name?
"Who are you? Why did you kidnap me?"
I avoided his hands when he was about to touch me.
"Easy, Bella. I won't hurt you." He whispered.
I gulp.
The way he speaks, it's so calm and soft.
"W-why did you kidnap me? Let me go!" I shouted.
"You created a commotion yesterday and broke the rules, did you know the punishment for that? Huh, Bella?"
Rules? What is he saying?
"Look, Mr. I don't understand what you are saying but I don't know what you are talking about. Can you just let me go?"
I'm sure Vanilla is panicking right now. Her best friend is missing in a place that we are not familiar with.
"Tsk, stubborn. You just punched someone in the mall yesterday. We have rules, Bella." He explained.
I don't give a damn about his rules.
"So? That man deserves that. He deserves another beating." I defend.
Every time that I will remember that man, I can't help it but my blood is boiling. In this generation, I can't stand men who think they are above women. Women can do everything that they can do, I just hate that he easily beats that girl using his bare hands.
Poor girl.
He laughed because of what I'd said.
"Rule number 1, turn a blind eye. He's paying because of his freedom but you broke the rules and almost killed him."
What?
Damn right, I almost forget that this is El Diablo. There's no government here, that man is paying for his freedom?
That's a bit crap.
"And so? You will punish me because of that? Who are you to do that?"
This man is getting on my nerves. This place is nothing but crap. So that's why people do their pleasures here, they're paying because of that.
Whoever runs this place is nothing but a piece of sh*t. How can he do that? So when people beat the hell out of someone, they will never do anything about that? That explains why people in the mall think I'm crazy for helping that woman.
He stares at me with amusement in his eyes.
"Do you know the punishment for people who broke the rules?" He asked and whispered to me. "Death."
W-what?
My eyes widened in shock.
Just because of that? Am I going to die for helping a woman in need?
I glare at the gorgeous man in front of me. No, he's a devil, why am I admiring him?
"You will kill me? Is that the reason why I'm here?" I boldly said.
If this man thinks that I'm scared of him, then he's wrong. I can't feel anything but anger, I want to punch him in the face too.
He grins and licks his lips while staring at me.
"Of course, I won't do that. Why would I kill my bride?"
Did I hear it right? He won't kill me?
W-what?
"What? I think I misheard you, Mister."
I gulped, his face was so near.
"Of course, you heard it right. You can choose between death or marriage." He said.
What?
Death or marriage?
"Are you even serious? Why would I marry you?"
Gosh, is this man out of his mind?
He smiles and suddenly the door opens. A maid comes in and gives the small box to this man. After that, the maid left and I'm alone again with this devil.
He opened the box and I saw a diamond ring.
Hell no, this is not serious, right?
"S-stay away from me!" I shouted because he held my other hand.
"Tsk, so little. Don't be scared, sweetheart."
He wore the diamond ring on my ring finger.
"Perfect, the ring perfectly suits you, my queen."
Is he crazy?
"Let me go! I want to go home, you're crazy!"
He chuckles.
"This is your home, you won't go anywhere."
"Who are you? Why are you doing this to me?"
Am I being filmed? Is this a joke?
Can someone tell me that is just a prank?
He held my chin and gave my lips a peck.
What the hell?
"You can call me Zephyr, sweetheart."
